The Library of the Poznań Society of Friends of Arts and Sciences has been recently enriched by the accession of the manuscript “Poetical texts from the first half of the nineteenth century”. The manuscript includes a number of patriotic poems put down in the manuscript between 1848-1849. The article provides information on the physical description of the manuscript item (its present shelf number being: rkp. 2112) and a detailed list of its contents. Individual works have been listed in alphabetical order according to the names of the authors, with annotations concerning first editions. The bulk of the poems included in the manuscript were published prior to their inclusion in the manuscript, some of them after the year 1849. At the present stage of the investigation, some of the poems have not been confirmed to have been published earlier. An anonumous 12-verse poem without a title, attached to the communique at full length, has been identified by the author of the article as a poem whose last four verses were published in 1881 in the book Kraków - Zagrzebiowi under the title W albumie księcia Golicyna by Adam Mickiewicz. The article is intended to stimulate those engaged in research of the history of literature in further investigations concerning the said collection of poems, in particular the last mentioned text.

The article presents a new found Old Czech manuscript fragment of the Gospel of Matthew with Sermons (Evangelium sv. Matouše s homiliemi) from the third quarter of the 14th century (Prague, National Museum Library, shelf mark 1 D a 2/18b). The translation of the Gospel of Matthew, accompanied by sermons, had been previously known from a single manuscript (Prague, National Library, shelf mark XVII A 4, the 1370s) and from the paraphrases of the Gospel of Matthew without sermons in the Old Czech biblical manuscripts (Bible drážďanská, Bible litoměřicko-třeboňská, Bible olomoucká). This paper compares the text of the fragment with those biblical sources. The strip from the parchment folio contains only short passages from Matthew 8 and 9, which are divided into pericopes similarly to the Evangelium sv. Matouše s homiliemi, however, no sermons are included. Therefore this fragment poses new questions about the origin and history of the Gospel of Matthew with Sermons.

Notes about a handbook of Italian grammar by a Croatian philologist Dragutin Antun Parčić – A handbook of Italian grammar, written in Croatian by Croatian philologist Parčić, confirms that in the past educated Croatian-speaking people were bilingual and at the same time it proves that lower classes aimed to study Italian as well. The paper analyses the functionality and appropriateness of topics presented in the Parčić manuscript because it is obvious that the author was keen to help his Croatian-speaking students in the acquisition of Italian.

The pharmacologist of al-Andalus, born in Malaga and died in Damascus, Ibn al-Bayṭār (576/1180 or 583/1187–646/1248) composed a dozen works among which we must highlight: The Kitāb Mīzān al-Ṭabīb. The work presented here studies the only manuscript of this work that has been preserved, number 351 or Vet. 58 of the Universitetsbibliotek of Uppsala (Sweden) and describes the content of the same, a medical-pharmacological dissertation, divided into eighty chapters, each of which is dedicated to one or more diseases, going through all the organs of the body, starting with the head and ending with the feet.

In the Lviv theater headed by Jan Nepomucen Kamiński, Friedrich Schiller’s The Robbers was part of a theater campaign of Romanticism; even though it was cautious due to censorship and long-winded, the Lviv entrepreneur produced an important staging not only considering the selection of the play itself, but also in staging choices and especially in acting ones. Kamiński’s 1817 (or earlier) translation determined the shape of the German Sturm und Drang masterpiece for Polish theaters for many years. It also influenced the way later translations were staged. A copy preserved in the Lviv Theater Library in Katowice dates from 1864. Although Kamiński’s translation was based on an abridged and revised German version of the drama, prepared in 1781 for a theater in Mannheim and published there, the analyzed copy also contains references suggesting the use of the canonical edition, known from the original printing of the drama and its subsequent editions authorized by Schiller. This late copy, bearing the traces of numerous interventions, though some were probably obliterated by the copyist, suggests original staging solutions that may have been made by the first translator and stage adaptor himself.

The object of this edition is an anonymous verse Relacyja o żałosnym zejściu Oświeconego Książęcia Krzysztofa Radziwiłła, wojew[ody] wileńs[kieg]o, wielkiego hetmana W[ielkiego] Ks[ięstwa] Litewskie[g]o Anno D[omi]ni 164[0] sub persona Amin[tasa] i Dafn[isa] rozmawiających [An account of the lamentable death of His Grace Prince Krzysztof Radziwiłł, the Vilinian Voivode, Great Hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Anno Domini 1640 given by the persons of Amintas and Dafnis talking with each other] preserved in a home chronicle (so-called sylwa) of Andrzej Lubieniecki, today kept in the collection of the Central Library of Rotterdam (manuscript no. 527). With regard to its genre qualities, the work may be ascribed to funeral pastorals due to its composition, versification and the names of characters referring to Virgil’s bucolics. One of the characters is named Melibeus, which refers to the 1st eclogue of Maron, in which a shepherd going by the same name bids farewell before his departure for banishment, which may have been a parallel of the Hetman’s death. The loss of the Vilnian Voivode is discussed and mourned by Amintas and Dafnis, who were famous in the antique bucolics for their impressive poetical talent. The author freely uses pastoral and mythological motives, joins pagan and Christian religious plots and refers to specific realities and personal details, as well as precisely indicates the geographical location of the shepherds: near to Birż, the ancestral residence of the Radziwiłł family, were Dafnis learned about Radziwiłł’s death at a market. The work’s title announces the presentation of the death of the Vilnian Voivode, but information about this event are limited only to the time of Krzysztof Radziwiłł’s death and a short mention of the reaction of his closest relatives. The main part of the work is carmen amoebaeum, that is a song performed alternately by shepherds introduced in the title. The subsequent parts of the song commemorate specific merits of Krzysztof Radziwiłł, chiefly as an engaged patron of Evangelical Protestants, funding Protestant meetinghouses and schools, and caring of his fellow-believers. The main reason of the mourning, however, was the loss of an active advocate of equality of rights irrespectively of creed, who fought for liberties for men of different religions in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Voivode was also praised for his efforts to facilitate peace, which harmonised well with values emphasised in the bucolics. Apart from the typical pastoral figures, Amintas’ song also quotes mythological characters and fictional motives. The Hetman’s death is here mourned by pagan gods Apollo and Neptune, as well as by Echo and Pan, nymphs, dryads, satyrs, and fauns. Even the nature laments his departure. Dafnis’ song depicts Radziwiłł’s deification on Olympus and provides an account of the meeting of gods, during which they welcome the deceased Hetman in their circle. In Dafnis’ opinion, Radziwiłł deserved this honour most of all due to his religious demeanour, which is confirmed by Piety introduced in the pagan otherworld. The last part of the song presents Melibeus, looking down on the Earth and the relatives he left. The vision of eternal happiness of Radziwiłł is supposed to be a consolation for his grief stricken family and fellow countrymen. In the conclusion of the pastoral (conclusio), Amintas recognizes the agon of the shepherds to be Dafnis’ victory.

The purpose of this paper is to present and to analyse Litaniae in D by Jacek Szczurowski – a Polish composer, cleric, conductor, and teacher. His work, previously unknown and unpublished, has been preserved in a unique musical manuscript from the collection of the Piarists, now stored at the State Archives in Modra, near Bratislava. This article includes information about the composer, the state of research on his works and a description of the litaniae as a genre in general. Litaniae in D by Jacek Szczurowski is a work which deserves wider attention from musicologists. The composer divided his Litaniae into nine parts: Kyrie eleison, Pater de caelis, Mater Christi, Virgo prudentissima, Speculum iustitiae, Rosa mystica, Salus infirmorum, Regina Angelorum, Agnus Dei and each of these parts has its own character compatible with the lyrics. The piece uses the basic and typical techniques of those times, thanks to its interesting concept is distinguished by the form and the development of the words. Szczurowski combined music and lyrics of litaniae in a great manner, e.g. by repetition of important words (for example miserere), the way Szczurowski uses rests is also significant, as they separate syllables and imitate crying. The most important thing, however, is that he uses rhetoric, and this shows that he was not an average composer.

Walentyna Sobol’s new book is timed to a double date: the 350th birth anniversary and the 280th death anniversary of the famous personality: the poet, writer, and hetman of Ukraine Pylyp Orlyk (1672–1742). Walentyna Sobol analysed all the most important academic literature on Pylyp Orlyk’s work, and carried out thorough research, read out the manuscript text of the Diary of 1725 and 1726. Her many years of work on the manuscript and its publication took place in several stages. First, an abridged copy of Diary, made in 1830 by anonymous palaeographers, was read. Then the diary manuscript of 1724 was read. In the course of the next stage, in 2012, the researcher got hold of the original manuscript of Orlyk’ Diary, which is kept in the Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France. Walentyna Sobol compared the facsimile edition with the original and found fragments of the manuscript missing from the facsimile. The researcher concludes that Orlyk’s text shows a combination of the education received by the hetman in Vilnius and finalised in Kyiv with European influences. This is confirmed by both the content of the notes and their form. Baroque features of notes, and Latin-Polish macaronisms are not just a tribute to fashion but also evidence of belonging to a specific literary tradition because, in the manuscripts of letters and diaries of many pupils of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, we see similar linguistic features. The first edition of Orlyk’s diary from 1725 and 1726 is an inexhaustible source of information for researchers in various fields, such as historians of religion, palaeographers, cultural anthropologists, linguists studying the languages spoken in the first half of the eighteenth century – Latin, Old Church Slavonic, Old Polish, Old French – their importance in the activities of European political elites.

Palace and hovel, one of the earliest (1875) works of Boleslaw Prus, is preserved as a whole in manuscript and offers interesting material for editorial-philological research. The pages contain many deletions, amendments, additions made in the author’s hand. This enables us to observe how work on the text proceeded and which parts of the text had an entirely different form than the one commonly known from the published version of the novel.

The article deals with the external analysis of a part of the manuscript dating from the 15th century which contains a collection of letters of the archbishop Jan of Jenštejn; it was coped at the end of the 14th century and published 1877 by J. Loserth under the title Jenštejn´s Epistolary. The text focuses on the adjustment of the quires and character and order of the letters copied, as well as on the text corrections made by another scribe. It concludes that the manuscript originated under the direct supervision of the archbishop who transmitted the papers of individual letters to the scribe step by step for copying them and then he polished their stylistic form and corrected them. The conserved manuscript came into being in the year 1398 in Herštejn and as a whole it represents the concept of Jenštejn´s new autobiographic work analogous to Petrarca´s Familiares. The epistolary has never been transcribed into definitive form for the public.

The article deals with the person of Martin from Tišnov, printers of Bible of Kutná Hora, and a scribe of several manuscripts. Based on the historical context and in particular with palaeographic analysis confirms an assumption of J. Vobr, that the printer Martin from Tišnov and author (and a scribe) handwritten celebratory file to the Lords of Cimburka, Latin file Herbarium carmine conscriptum and scribe works [PseudoCyrillus]: Quadripartius Apologeticus [sive Speculum sapientiae] are one person. It adds a palaeographic comparison with Bible of Lords of Kunštát, a handwriting, which was commissioned by Sophie from Kunštát and Skály, married from Cimburk. Our knowledge is not extend only at Martin from Tišnov and his authorship to another manuscript, as well as for research on this manuscript is an important information because it allows better dating its origin, thereby moving the writing of the manuscript dating from further dating of the Czech version of the biblical text, which is the text content of the manuscript.

MS Prague, National Library of the Czech Republic, IV H 9, ff. 259v–262v contains an anonymous short treatise Insolubilia pulchra (Modus solvendi insolubila secundum Magistrum Johannem Wyclif). In 1915 Jan Sedlák attributed this tract to the Czech Realist Stanislav of Znojmo (d. 1414), nonetheless, his attribution was not fully accepted in the historiography. The first part of the study provides a content analysis of the preserved treatise in the manuscript. Insolubilia pulchra closely follows John Wyclif ’s Logicae continuatio and the basis of his doctrine on being, propositional realism as well as his attitudes on how to eliminate logic and semantic paradoxes (e.g. so-called ‘Liar-paradox’ or paradox of self-reference with the proposition ‘This is false’). The second part of the study presents the palaeographical and context analysis of the MS Prague, National Library of the Czech Republic, IV H 9. Further also introduces other two preserved sources of the tract. One copy, extent in MS Worcester, Cathedral Chapter, F 118, ff. 150v–151r. Here is the treatise entitled Insolubilia and attributed to the Oxford Realist Robert Alyngton (d. 1418). Another copy was discovered in MS Prague, Prague Castle Archive (former Metropolitan Chapter by St. Vitus), N 19 (1543), ff. 110vb–114rb among the logical treatises of John Wyclif. The tract preserved in MS Prague, National Library of the Czech Republic, IV H 9, ff. 259v–262v is not a genuine work of Stanislav of Znojmo, nevertheless, a treatise Insolubilia which was compiled by Robert Alyngton.

The author of this article focuses on two transcriptions of the Tovačov Book, previously unknown in the literature. The first case involves Manuscript R 4 in Strážnice Museum. The manuscript comes from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries and is worth noting because it was transcribed from a source in a text version not too remote from that in which the Lord of Tovačov presented it to the nobles. The text is of the "Olomouc type". In addition to the Book it also provides a dual non-identical translation of Matthew's freedoms (and if we examine the other texts, the codex provides sources on Moravian provincial law up to and including the 16th century). The more recent Liberec transcription, housed in the North Bohemian Museum in Liberec, is interesting for its features which are related to manuscript A 165 of the Mitrovský collection, which we can justifiably place at the front of the Olomouc variant manuscripts' affiliation order.

This article presents selected aspects of the anonymous Old English epic Beowulf in which the elements of the world of fantasy are intertwined with historical episodes, and Christian values co-occur with the images of pagan rites. Written in the vernacular and to the rhythm of alliterative metre Beowulf is an example of the highest artistic achievement. The anonymous poet skillfully depicted the harsh Northern world shaped by the Christian culture. Although Beowulf has been studied since the beginning of the 19th century many fundamental issues are still unresolved. With the focus on the source text and its manuscript context some of the puzzles may yet be unravelled.

Sylvias (from the Latin silva rerum, i.e. forest of things) belong to the category of domestic books manuscript books, created in Old Polish times (17th-18th century) mainly in the noble community gentry circles. They are considered a valued source for historical and literary research due to the historical and literary research due to the variety of materials they contain, collected by their authors without a specific plan according to their tastes possibilities and needs. The author of one of the largest works of this kind was Aleksander Jastkowski (c. 1625/30– c. 1691), a nobleman from the Przemyśl land Ruthenian Voivodeship, a judge of the Przemyśl lands. His sylva entitled. ‘Compendium omnis activitatis politici et rei economicae ex variis authoribus collectae’ (National Ossolineum Library in Wroclaw, manuscript no. 3554) should be considered a typical example of this type of writing. This sylva was created successively probably for more than half a century mainly by A. Jastkowski, and was completed after his death at the beginning of the 18th century by persons unknown to us. It numbers 594 pages and contains in copies numerous materials, mostly relating to public life at the time (approx. 45% of the total manuscript), such as journalistic writings, correspondence and speeches by dignitaries state dignitaries, the Diary of the Sejm of 1652, records of the Sejmik of the Ruskie Voivodeship in Sądowa and others. In addition, it contains notes by A. Jaskowski concerning his private matters, copies of his and his family’s estate documents, extracts from his and his family’s property documents, excerpts from books he had read, and notes on various fields of knowledge (cultivation of the soil, medicine, Polish and general history, legal and constitutional subjects, etc.), literary works, and notes on the history of Poland etc.), literary works, specimens and examples of occasional letters, materials concerning the private affairs of various individuals.
